Did you by chance look through the main page. I would imagine Keith has it there somewhere.
I will look and see if I can see it. Also try the search option. I have seen a bunch of threads
on this subject.

The stock dog dish steelies on my '69 F100 are 15X6 with a 3.5" backspacing. I believe the dog dish steelies stayed the same all the way through the '70's and 80's models. I know the early '90's dog dish steelies started to have the little oval holes around the perimeter. Not sure if those were 15" or 16". I think they were 15". Off the top of my head, I think the lug pattern on the F100/F150 is 5 on 5", but I could be wrong.

The 1/2 ton bolt pattern for our trucks is 5 on 5.5". As far as backspacing and all that I am not sure.

So if I go looking for Aftermarket Rims I should be looking for a 5x5.5 bolt pattern for my 71'??

yes 5x5.5 is the correct bolt circle.
